One of the benefits of this legislation is assistance towards Clean Water State Revolving Funds, which can be spent on Point-of-Use or Point-of-Entry filters. This requires that the filters be used to benefit public water systems. Another benefit of the legislation is empowering the EPA\u2019s Assistance for Small and Disadvantaged Communities Program.<\/p>\n<p>The EPA\u2019s program for smaller communities provides grants to towns with a population of less than 10,000. These communities often lack core water services and water systems that are standard in most places. The grants provided from this legislation can help those towns stabilize their water quality and enjoy a higher standard of living. The last element of the legislation would permit grant funds to go towards POU and POE filtration systems for those small communities.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;CTA &#8211; PIONEER&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#d2e2f4&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;80%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|12px|12px|12px|12px&#8221; global_module=&#8221;3747&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; collapsed=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;HDR&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.6.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Open Sans|700||on|||||&#8221; header_2_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>NOW REMOVES ARSENIC!<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb admin_label=&#8221;CALL-TO-ACTION&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.8&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|10px||10px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|20px||20px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>PIONEER<\/strong> is the First of its Kind Whole-House Lead, Cyst &amp; PFOA\/PFOS Removal System and now PIONEER Removes Arsenic! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enpress.com\/site\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a> to learn more about this revolutionary system.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A piece of federal legislation is set to help disadvantaged communities achieve a standard level of water quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":4090,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The US Geological survey conducted research regarding different effects of droughts. In their recent study, they found that many prolonged droughts can cause a higher risk of exposure to arsenic in well water. Maine, New England, the Midwest, and the Southwest are all areas whose arsenic levels are regularly higher than the federal level allows. Although municipal water supplies are carefully monitored, private well water is not. This can be a danger to Americans because over 43 million people rely on private well water. A previous study revealed that somewhere between 1.5 and 2.9 million people are drinking water with unsafe levels of arsenic, and this number may increase to over 4 million in case of a drought.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased levels of arsenic may be caused by a decrease in groundwater levels, which causes changes in water chemistry. There are also some human responses to droughts, such as using ground water rather than surface water, which may also affect exposure. The number of droughts is expected to increase as a result of climate change, exposing even more Americans to unsafe drinking water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arsenic is highly dangerous because it causes a wide variety of health issues, and is odorless, colorless and tasteless - making it undetectable without a test. To help combat this issue, many states which are at high risk for droughts have programs to provide private well owners with arsenic tests. Although not all testing is free, these programs help make it affordable since it is recommended to test water every 3-5 years. By increasing awareness, doing additional research, and regularly testing water we can fight this issue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[64,57,114,91,207,55,208,203,51],"class_list":["post-4083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-enpress-news","tag-contamination","tag-drinking-water","tag-epa","tag-forever-chemicals","tag-funding","tag-pfas","tag-strategic-roadmap","tag-water-license","tag-water-system"],"yoast_head":"<!--
